Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Colt47]

People don't want FFXI, they just want some of the advancement options and utility that FFXI had. For one thing, I'd greatly prefer open world, group oriented quests that raise the level cap as being a means for end game advancement over grinding gear in a dungeon or raid, as that is one of the worst features we've had in MMO RPGs in the last decade. Not to mention it makes a heck of a lot more sense that we'd absorb the primals power and be able to advance to a more powerful state than for a primal to drop a weapon he never carries or uses. Seriously, where do we get half of these primal weapons from? Does Titan use them for jewelry? And where does Garuda have these weapons?

The ultimate failing of the modern MMO RPG is it's lack of attention to integrating the elements of it's setting with the gameplay that we experience. That is something that the original Final Fantasy XI was more successful at. What we don't want is FFXI's comical class balance, leveling curve, etc.
